Calgary police officer shot, suspect is dead

Global is reporting that "A Calgary police officer was shot Tuesday and one suspect is dead after what started as a convenience store robbery turned into an attempted carjacking, then a break-in in the northeast community of Abbeydale. Police said the suspect carried a gun and opened fire before running into a neighbourhood garage when officers tried to arrest him. The Calgary Police Service (CPS) said the injured officer, a five-year member, is recovering in stable condition at the Foothills hospital. Sources have identified the officer as Jordan Forget."

Another spike in Surrey overdoses while the Police watch and the Mayor takes a junket to France

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Fraser Health issued an overdose alert in Surrey Tuesday (March 27), following reports of at least eight drug overdoses in the city between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m." Meanwhile back on the ranch, Botox Betty sails off on another junket.

Instead of arresting the drug dealers selling tainted drugs on the Surrey Strip the RCMP are giving them police protection. That's what they refer to as criminal culpability.

Global is reporting that "With Surrey condo prices soaring, developers helped bankroll mayor’s $58K trip to Cannes." This is a glimpse into the LRT fraud in Surrey. Dirty developers pay her money as she runs around on junkets just like Dianne w/atts did. Tax and spend is their MO.

Gangsters out now open for business

A new day has dawned. I thought I'd comment on the obvious just to set the record straight. For the first time in recorded history you can see advertising on Gangsters out. I have been stubbornly resistant to the idea for the past nine years because I never wanted to profit from discussing organized crime. I am a volunteer. This is not about the money and never has been. This has always been about the cause. Right and wrong.

One of the pet peeves of the public is how the Main Stream Media is controlled by corporate advertising. Nobody wants to go out like that. However, in the real world everyone advertises. That is how business functions and prospers and I most certainly do support good business.

Throughout history newspapers, television and radio have supported themselves through advertising. The Vancouver Sun has advertising. Even Youtube has adds on them and they aren't intrusive. My daughter has been bugging me about the idea for sometime now and since she has taken the hits from the trolls straight on the chin I've been starting to think about it.

Recently some troll sh*t was bragging about how little money he made from the minuscule traffic he gets impersonating me. I thought to myself, if he can make that much money impersonating me I can make a lot more being me. If having adds on my blog will help me fix my motorcycle and take my road trip across Canada and the US so I can write my book then so be it.

There are a few bugs to work out. Blogger lets me screen adds and say what type of add I do and don't want shown on my blog. I'm not going to have adds on my blog that promote scams, Viagra, pot, porn or anything else shady. This blog aspires to something higher. I'm going to have to fine tune the screening. If you see any add that's questionable please let me know and I'll put it on the block list. That way I can control what kind of adds are on my blog.

Adds for university or post secondary education are perfect. Political adds or religious adds are acceptable within reason. It's all about the Freedom of the Press. We need to keep that going online even when the corporate monopolies destroy it in print and on television.

Erik Prince of Darkness, founder of Academi, formally known as Blackwater, has come out of hiding from his criminal charges of arms dealing and murdering whistle blowers, to consider running for a Senate seat in Wyoming. Why not? If they can make a CIA drug dealer a Fox News host, why not an arms dealing mercenary. May they all rot in Hell.

CBC Marketplace exposes fake degrees

The Marketplace on CBC ran an interesting episode exposing Canadians with fake degrees from fake universities. They were even able to buy a fake degree for themselves from a fake university. Their fake degree from the fake university even came with a fake transcript and fake attendance records. They confronted several psychologists advertising fake degrees on LinkedIn. After they were confronted the LinkedIn profiles removed the fake degree claims.

The CBC posted a list of fake universities online. If you see anyone advertising a degree from one of those universities, it's fake. The interesting revelation is that all the fake universities on that list can be traced to a sinlge company in Pakistan called Axact.

This opens Pandora's box because the New York Times exposed them in 2015. A year later the New York Times reported that "Axact’s fraud empire, already considered one of the biggest Internet scams on record, is bigger than initially imagined." Thing that make ya go hmmmm.

September 2017 the CBC exposed them still operating in Canada and January 2018 the BBC followed suit exposing them as well operating in the UK. Yet lo and behold, the company is still defiantly in operation.

Aside from the fact that they are still in operation after they have been exposed, another thing I find suspicious is their location and the magnitude of the money they are bringing in from the fraud. Both facts point to a single source.

Pakistan Intelligence is referred to as ISI. They have deep ties to the CIA and to French Intelligence. Sarkozy had the French and Pakistan Intelligence community murder a coule of French Engineers and blame in on Terrorists after he lost his arms deal kickbacks in the Karachi affair. CIA contractor Raymond Davis was released from prison after he shot dead two Pakistani citizens. Pakistan's then spy chief Shuja Pasha facilitated his acquittal from a court case.



OK so here's the math: Former US Navy Intelligence officer Al Martin stated that the CIA regularly uses investment fraud to raise money. He claims that Jeb Bush himself instructed him how to commit investment fraud to raise money for Iran contra. Aside from selling drugs, that is what the CIA does. The CIA used investment fraud to crash the Nugan Hand bank in Australia. The CIA used investment fraud to crash the BCCI. That is their MO. The CIA used Earl W. Brian to embezzle $50 million from Nesbitt Thompson’s clients in Canada to fund the October Surprise.

Why wouldn't the CIA set up a shell company in Pakistan that made fake university degrees to raise money for operations? BTW Blackwater is back. Mercenary Storm Troopers for hire. RIH.

Vancouver fentanyl dealers charged in Saskatoon

The Peace arch News is reporting that "Azam Kabani and Shervin Beeharry, both 19, have been charged with trafficking a controlled substance. Japmanjot S. Grewal, 21, of Calgary, has also been charged. According to Saskatoon Police, the charges are connected to a March 11 public safety advisory where police warned people to stay away from dealers going by the names “Lil Joe” or “Joe Bro,” as well as anyone using the phone number 306-881-7300. Police said that any cocaine purchased from the dealers might be laced with a lethal amount of fentanyl. The public advisory came after police investigated six overdoses within 24 hours. Two people died and a third was unresponsive and receiving medical treatment in hospital."

It's pretty sad that Ontario and Saskatchewan are charging fentanyl dealers but BC isn't. In Surrey and Vancouver the police give the fentanyl dealers police protection in the DTES and on the Surrey Strip. Kinda makes ya wonder which side they are on. In BC all they want to do is seize the proceeds of crime in exchange for letting it continue unbridled.

Before US Troops Protected Poppies In Afghanistan, There was No Opioid Epidemic in America

The Activist Post is reporting that "The Afghanistan War is the longest in United States history, and despite initial claims that the goal of the invasion was to keep Americans safe by destroying the Taliban and al-Qaeda, the result has been a massive increase in opium production that has fueled an on-going opioid crisis in the United States and ensnared more than 2.5 million Americans in heroin addiction. As whistleblower and former FBI contractor Sibel Edmonds noted, before the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001, there were around 189,000 heroin users in the United States. By 2016, that figure increased to 4.5 million - an estimated 2.5 million heroin addicts and 2 million casual users." The observation is correct.



Jonathan Kwitny's book the Crimes of Patriots stated that the CIA created the Golden Triangle. This fact has been confirmed by Terry Reed in his book Compromised and war hero Bo Gritz. When the Taliban brought opium production in Afghanistan to a grinding halt in 2001, Afghanistan was invaded and returned to the largest opium producers in the world.



What the CIA did in secret during Vietnam they are now doing openly in Afghanistan. US troops are protecting the opium fields using the lie that if we don't do it the Taliban will.

"The C.I.A.'s direct involvement in drug smuggling goes back a long time, not only in Afghanistan but also all over the world as in the Iran-Contras scandal. The now dead governor of Kandahar province, Wali Karzai, one of Afghanistan's biggest drug smugglers, had been for a long time on the C.I.A.'s payroll. Wali was Hamid Karzai's brother, former president of Afghanistan picked by the U.S. shortly after the occupation, in 2001." Just like Honduras.

Now I don't have any love for Communism and I do have a hate for Fascism. Ironically, both roads lead to the same place: totalitarianism. Stalin, Lenin and Chairman Mao were no better and no different than Adolf Hitler. Socialism can only exist within a Free Republic. You cannot protect collective rights by eliminating individual rights. Rachel Blevins aspires to break the left/right paradigm in media and politics by pursuing truth and questioning existing narratives.

Departures visits North Korea

I mentioned that I was excited to see Season three of the TV series Departures is now on Netflix. They went to Russia, Australia, Rwanda, Vietnam and even North Korea. Their trip to North Korea or DPRNK was amazing. It is dividend into two parts Episode 12 and Episode 13.

At first everyone was a bit nervous because they didn't want to say or do something that offended the host country. After it became clear that the intent of the visit was not to portray the DPRNK in a bad light but to sincerely see and experience some of their culture and traditions, their guides started to feel more at ease as well. It was magnificent.

They didn't ask about religious freedom, free speech or lawful assembly. They just went to see what they were willing to share with them. The Korean people love music. That is something we can all appreciate. In Vancouver we host a magnificent display of Chinese culture called Shen Yun. Seemingly North Korea has a similar magnificent display of local culture. We should welcome that display to come to Vancouver. I also think we should do trade with North Korea.

If we can do trade with China we can do trade with North Korea. The Olympics in South Korea went well and it's time to move forward. It's like the absurdity of the Helms Burton law. We may disagree with their ideology but why would we intentionally try and sabotage their social experiment? If we genuinely care about all people we would want to help lift their standard of living too. We don't want to see anyone starve. Regardless of their politics.



We should still do business with China. I object to them owning our oil rights just as I object to Canadian Corporations owning the mining rights in Columbia. That's just not right.

Facebook is a tool: Delete the CIA

It is always astounding to see the sensationalism and hype that plagues the Main Stream Media especially in the United States. The latest mob frenzy was around a questionable query about Facebook. The media ran with an absurd story claiming Cambridge Analytica hijacked our online data to help elect Donald Trump. First it was Russia, now it's England. GMAFB.

How stupid do you think we really are? The source of this absurd frenzy is found when Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota. Jesse Ventura was a wild card. When he was elected he was taken to the basement of the capital to be interviewed by 23 members of the CIA. What did they want? They wanted to know how he pulled it off. How did he win the election. His first question nailed it. He asked them what is the CIA doing operating in the USA when that is out of their jurisdiction. More importantly what is the CIA doing meddling in a US election?

As I've previously stated, I don't like Donald Trump. I think he is a dick and I oppose his position on immigration. I didn't like Hillary Clinton either because of her long time ties to CIA drug trafficking out of Mena Arkansas and her authoring Operation Fast and Furious. As an impartial observer it is obvious the CIA wanted Hillary elected and didn't want Trump elected.

The CIA wanted Hillary elected because of her long time ties to arms dealing and drug trafficking. It had nothing to do with supporting immigration. Consequently all this absurd nonsense about Russia or England hacking the election has become ridiculous. The bottom line is that the CIA fears social media for the same reason every other dictator obsessed with removing civl liberty does. Facebook is a tool and like the internet it can be used for good or evil.

Donald Trump's Twitter fire has helped open up communication from the head of state. Justin Trudeau uses Twitter as well as Facebook. Granted his Tweets aren't as wild and crazy as Donald Trumps but social media does help officials get information out to the public. Even the Dalai Lama uses Facebook and Twitter now. Justin Trudeau states that his party is not turning it's back on social media in future campaigns. Everyone pays to advertise on Google and Facebook.

I deleted my Facebook because I wanted to go off the grid. Consequently I have lost touch with many old friends scattered all over the world. C'est la vie. We all manage our time as we choose.

NDP Offers corporate tax breaks for LNG

We're certainly shattering stereotypes left, right and centre. The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Premier John Horgan offered billions of dollars worth of tax breaks to liquefied natural gas producers Thursday in a move to entice the construction of an export facility in Kitimat."

Oh but they said the NDP would tax and spend. Evidently not. As soon as the NDP were elected they lowered taxes by removing bridge tolls. Now they are offering tax incentives to attrack business. Imagine that. The flip side of that shattered stereotype is another shocker. The environmentalists are actually opposing it as if coal was cleaner than natural gas. Go figure. These environmentalists don't care about the environment. They're just mental.

"Horgan said he was heavily influenced by a trade mission to Asia in January where he met with project proponents and saw the pollution caused by coal-fired power plants. B.C. could help displace coal in Asia with cleaner LNG." No kidding. Have you seen the pollution in Beijing from all the coal? It is astounding. Don't the environmentalists want a reduction in the coal exports out of the Surrey docks? This project would greatly reduce CO2 emissions world wide.

I lived in Ireland for two years in 1988 and 1989. At that time eveyone heated their homes with coal fires. In the south it was open coal fireplaces. In the north they had enclosed fireplaces that burned coal which heated water that was pumped through radiators. The pollution from all that coal was incredible. Cork had a thick fog of coal smog daily. When I wrote home about it my father said that was what it was like in West Vancouver when your mother and I were first married. We had a coal fireplace and the smoke from those coal fires covered everything.

I was shocked to discover that only one generation ago we had coal fires in Vancouver and all the smog that went with them. Natural gas has eliminated that problem quite effectively.

Another lesson I learned from Ireland back then was providing tax incentives to attract business. Not much was happening economically in Ireland at the time so the government came up with an idea. 50% of nothing is nothing but 10% of something is something. The government of Ireland offered tax breaks to large corporations as incentive to open up shop in Ireland and it worked. All of a sudden the Shannon Development centre was created in the middle of nowhere.

High tech industry cropped up right beside Paddy and Mick's sheep farm. People had jobs and started paying income tax from those jobs. The government also made some tax from the large industries that moved into town. That's why Google has it's headquaters in Dublin. The Irish Govenemnt gave them tax breaks and the people have jobs that pay income tax.

Offering tax incentives to LNG in Kitmat is good business simply because 50% of nothing is nothing but a smaller percentage of something is something. Do the math.

In contrast, Andrew Weaver has lost his mind. He said he might withdraw his support of the minority NDP government. What will that solve? Do you think the Liberals won't push for a LNG facility? We need to oppose coal exports not natural gas. Give your head a shake.

MPs arrested at Kinder Morgan Protest

Global is reporting that "Two Members of Parliament have been arrested at the Kinder Morgan facility on Burnaby Mountain after they defied a court injunction that banned protesters from disrupting construction work at both Trans Mountain terminals. Saanish-Gulf Islands MP and Green Party leader Elizabeth May, and Burnaby South NDP MP Kennedy Stewart joined several dozen protesters and marched to the gate of the Kinder Morgan tank farm."

Saturday protesters defied the court order on Burnaby Mountain and were arrested. Tuesday, 59 protesters defied the court order and were arrested. The Globe and Mail reported that "Amina Moustaqim-Barrette, who spoke on behalf of a coalition of demonstrators under the banner Protect the Inlet, said each protester was ready to be arrested to send a clear message against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. “The community isn’t going to lay down and just accept that this pipeline is going to be built,” she said. “They’re going to show their opposition very loudly and very purposefully.” Twenty-eight demonstrators began blocking the entrance to Kinder Morgan’s work site at about 10 a.m. Saturday. Four hours later, some of the protesters tied themselves to the gate using zip ties, Moustaqim-Barrette said."



The Seattle Times reported that "Thousands of demonstrators marched Saturday to speak out against a pipeline expansion project that would nearly triple the flow of oil from Canada’s tar sands to the Pacific Coast." As did the Toronto Star. CBC is reporting that "The governor of Washington says his state is "allied'' with British Columbia in questioning whether the Trans Mountain pipeline should be expanded." I told you this project is dead in the water.

King 5 News is reporting that "About 30 kayaktivists with the group Mosquito Fleet surrounded a large oil barge near the Port of Seattle and held a large banner that read Stop Kinder Morgan."



Evidently Alberta's BC wine boycott and their second unjustified spike in gas prices at the pump hasn't deterred the public opposition it has only fanned the flames of indignation. One reader wrote into the paper and nailed it. The second pipeline is not for local consumption, it is for foreign markets in China. There is absolutely no justification for the two recent spikes in the price of gas at the pumps. The problem is tar sands sludge and petroleum coke.

Alberta could refine the tar sands sludge there and send the refined oil through the existing pipeline. They want a second pipeline to send raw unrefined tar sands oil without refining it. Nobody in the US wants it. Detroit and Chicago both held public protests about their mountains of petroleum coke that was a byproduct of refining the tar sands sludge. They were able to send their petroleum coke to India but India doesn't want it any more so we are going to have to talk about what will happen to it. We don't want it in Vancouver. Alberta making demands of entitlement without addressing our concerns is bad business.

Initially, I supported the project. After Alberta's BC wine boycott and their entitlement demands they lost my support. The second spike in the price of gas is proof we need to break the oil monopoly in Canada. If we cant break the oil monopoly, we need to nationalize our oil because right now we do not have free market.
